ELLAvILLE, GA, March 81, 1887
Gentlemen-,I have used your S. s. S.
medicine with exceptional benefit on patien Is
convalescing from measles. A feature of that
disease is that it leaves the mucous membrane
chemically infamed-that is, the inaamma-
tion continues from four to six months
have given il TO several patients just getting
out of Oed from the measles and always with
the hdpples' results.
also used $ S. s. ia convalescent fever
cases with the best result IL will. in my
judgment, prevent summer dysentery, IL one
will take few bottles in the spring thus pre-
pairing the bowels for the strains Of summer.
am prompted to send you This letter, be-
cause just now am aware that measles pre-
vail in Southwest Georgia. While hesitate
TO appear as a voucher for proprietary rene
dies, s. s. S. has become such standard
medicine with many regular physicians, that

attached TO regular physicians endorse

claims of suffering humanity are greater than
selfish professional ethics.
Yours sincerely,
